Bo Li (李博) has been competing for 11 years. His best event is the 3×3: a personal-best single of 9.47, set at Huanggang Open 2026, puts him in the top 6.0% of the 284,439 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 2,326th in China. Until February 2008, no official 3×3 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since April 2015, he has put 240 official solves on the record across eight events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 9% around a typical one, steadier than 98% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 10.81 in October 2015 to 9.47, a 12% improvement. Bo has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
